Many commercial residential spaces install threshold transition strips on the ground below the door frame at the entrance. This ground transition strip is designed to provide a transition between different ground materials. It not only protects the edge of the ground and prevents wear and tear, but also improves the aesthetics.
For many traditional houses, the threshold transition strip is usually made of marble and is much higher than the ground on both sides, serving as a dividing line between different ground materials. People need to cross the threshold transition strip to enter the room. This traditional threshold transition strip has certain disadvantages and is easy to trip people while walking. Therefore, in many modern commercial houses, PVC threshold transition strips are used instead, which are usually designed to be flush with the ground on both sides without the risk of tripping.
There are many kinds of materials for threshold transition strips. Traditional threshold transition strips are usually made of marble or tiles, while modern threshold transition strips are mostly made of PVC and metal materials. The new transition strips have more advantages in practicality and decoration.
Traditional threshold transition strips require cement slurry as a bonding material, and their installation usually requires more professional skills. The threshold transition strips made of PVC and metal use structural adhesive as a bonding agent, and the installation process is simple and convenient.
To solve the problem of the transition area between the wall and the ground, the skirting profile is the best and most commonly used profile. It is usually fixed to the bottom of the wall by gluing or nailing, providing necessary protection for the bottom of the wall and hiding the gap between the wall and the edge of the ground.
Skirting is divided into many types according to the material, including marble, ceramic tile, PVC, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and other materials. Traditional skirtings are mostly made of marble and ceramic tile, which are large and require special skills for installation. In modern decoration environments, PVC and metal skirtings are more likely to be chosen as solutions for the transition between walls and floors.
For the same reason, marble and ceramic tile skirtings are large and difficult to install, and cement slurry is required for bonding during installation. PVC skirtings and metal skirtings are installed by gluing, nailing, or clips, and the installation process is simple and convenient.
There are also many ways to install skirtings. If you pursue a simple decoration style, you usually install the skirting by embedding it into the wall. In this way, the skirting is flush with the wall and invisible. However, this installation method requires cutting grooves in the wall in advance, or reserving grooves for the skirting in advance when building the house. It is a relatively complex installation method and the installation process is cumbersome. In addition, a more popular installation method is to lay the skirting flat on the bottom edge of the wall, and then use structural glue or nails as fixing materials. This installation method is relatively simple and can be easily completed without too many professional skills.
In addition, if you don't install skirting, are there other ways to solve the transition problem between the wall and the floor? The answer is yes! First, you can use metal or PVC edge strips as the connecting material between the wall and the floor. This type of edge strip has an "F" shape, an "L" shape, a concave arc, or other special shapes. Secondly, the wall marble is directly spliced with the floor, and the small gap in the middle can be filled with putty or other caulking agents. But this method is easy to cause other troubles when cleaning the floor. For example, when cleaning the floor, the water stains on the mop can easily wet the bottom of the wall, leaving ugly marks.
If your room has floors, you usually need to install floor transition strips between the floors. There are many shapes of this transition strip, the most commonly used are "T" and "U" shaped floor transition strips.
T-shaped and U-shaped floor transition strips can produce a better finish between the two floors and are mostly installed with glue or snaps.
Floor transition strips of the same height also have many different materials. Such as PVC floor transition strips, aluminum alloy floor transition strips, stainless steel floor transition strips, etc. PVC materials are more economical and durable and have good waterproof, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties. Metal floor transition strips have a better metal texture and are generally suitable for high-end interior decoration environments.
In the indoor floor decoration project, there are also some places with height differences. Such as the transition between cement floor and wooden floor, the transition between carpet and wooden floor, the transition between marble floor and wooden floor with height difference, etc.
The height difference floor transition strip is the best solution for the transition of different height floor materials. Usually, there is a height difference on both sides of this transition strip, which mainly serves to connect the floors of different materials on both sides, cover the edges of the floor, and hide the gaps.
There are many materials for the height difference floor transition strip, such as PVC high-low transition strip, metal high-low transition strip, rubber material high-low transition strip, etc.
This transition strip can be fixed by gluing, nailing, or screwing. The gluing method is generally used on PVC transition strips and aluminum alloy transition strips. The metal transition strip part is fixed with nails or screws and is usually divided into two parts: the face buckle and the base. When installing, you need to open a hole in the groove of the base, insert the screw to fix the base, and then install the face buckle part.
Modern interior decoration pays special attention to the decoration of the wall, especially the background wall area of the living room. If the background wall of your living room is decorated with marble or rock slabs, U-shaped or T-shaped metal decorative lines are usually used between the splicing of the same material to enhance the decorative effect of the background wall.
If the wall is made of wall panel decorative materials, such as wood plastic wall panels, bamboo fiber wall panels or carbon crystal large panels, PVC or metal edge strips will be used at the splicing and edges of the materials to make the overall decorative effect more perfect.
